Program Description

Event Details

Do you have a child between the ages of 0-32 months? Do you wonder how much you talk with your child? LENA Start is a 11-week, virtual program that will increase your child’s language development. Families will receive a “talk pedometer” that counts the number of words, conversational turns, and electronics your child hears in a day. We will meet weekly to give you tips on how to increase conversational turns. For more information contact Melody Alvarez @ malvarez@ppld.org. Pre-registration REQUIRED.

THIS 11-WEEK VIRTUAL PROGRAM INCLUDES A MANDATORY IN-PERSON ORIENTATION SESSION AT ONE OF THE PPLD LIBRARIES. COORDINATORS WILL CONTACT REGISTERED FAMILIES WITH DATES. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE ORIENTATION SESSION, YOU CAN ATTEND A FUTURE SESSION.

LENA Start is offered on different days. These are separate cohort sessions. You may only register for one session series.
